Drifting

"Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold"
Sometimes, I feel like I'm losing my friends every second of every day. But something that I always forget, is that I love them.
Even though we aren't as close anymore, they're still my friends. and I will always be there for them.

We’re not the friends we used to be, Our lives took different paths. But now all I feel is like someone pushed in a corner, I miss our good times, and laughs.

I remember when it was just the three of us, Staying on the phone all night till three, Thinking that we’d always be friends, It meant the world to me.

Then high school came and tore us apart, Promises made that were soon to depart. I just feel like you don’t care anymore, Departing into the shadows of the unknown.

We promised high school wouldn’t change us, But change can’t be stopped I guess, But I always had the hope, But now I digress,

You will always mean the world to me, I’m doing something wrong if that isn’t plain to see. And I’ll promise you one thing, And this I can mean.

I will always be your friend.

No matter where you are, Or who you’re with, Whether you feel the same or not.

But the only thing that will cause me not to be your friend, Is that tragic day, when all will fall, And this crazy world will end.
